The Connells - 74-75

Would have been in my 3 for sure.

Surprised not to see Glorious by Andreas Johnson mentioned yet.

What eejit said Grandmaster Flash FFS?! He's in the Hall of Fame.
Not me but I'd say he's in the Hall of Fame as a hip hop pioneer and early innovator, than record sales. I'm not sure many people could name much beyond The Message and White Lines. Which is 2 hits. Strike him from the record!

You can't be both a legendary musician and a OHW.

OHW has to be reserved for artists you all but never heard of before or after the big hit. I'd say a limit of a follow up cracking the top 10.

Babylon Zoo with Spaceman. I know, disgracefully, they had a follow up called Animal Army but I'd be confident it got nowhere near the top 10.

Imbruglia had a couple of songs off the same album as Torn and then a few others over the next 10 or so years. Shiver was big enough.

Quote from: gallsman on May 03, 2025, 07:42:37 PMRef was determined not to penalise Northampton towards the end but Leinster completely fucked that. Can have no complaints. What a waste of Jordie Barrett.

They made a total balls of it. Hubris writ large.

Furlong managed 60 minutes too. Starting Healy and Henshaw was crazy.

Leinster in a serious game against Northampton. 12 down at half time, 5 down now.

The whole "let's not start Jordie Barrett" tactic is a bit mental.

Too busy with all his spinning plates I'd say. He's out there making a difference instead of picking his top 3 Ocean Colour Scene songs  ;D

Absolute zing.

He had to change his name here because he harassed people online on other forums.
Serious hate-monger.

Oh wait no, that's me 😂

What was this? You get doxxed?

Very good in fairness.

Anyone able to point me to any formal definition of "Disruptive Conduct"? The words appear frequently enough in the Official Guide but I can't find any actual definition anywhere.

Getting played off the park here and will do well to still have 11 men at half time. Timber can't stop fouling.

Quote from: Rossfan on April 29, 2025, 04:13:58 PMIf they kick it over their own end line, the 45 has to be taken.


Is that not a bit silly?

I mean, they've won the ball back and put it out of play - regardless of where.
If he kicked it into his own net it would be a goal.
If he threw it over the sideline, it would be a free.

But he put it out of play.  That's the point.

If he kicked it into his own net, it's a goal. Ball is still in the same play. I get that.

I mean if he kicks it over the sideline after the hooter, it's not a side-line. The game's over.

A silly rule if he kicks it over his own line.

The point is that if you kick it out after the hooter, the treatment is different depending on what line it is.

If it's kicked wide, game over.

If it's put out for a sideline, game over

If it's put out for a 45, deliberately or not, the 45 gets taken. Why?

you'd wonder what the difference is, sure most county free takers would have a good chance of scoring a sideline, or even a 2 pointer depending on where it went out. Even in the Kildare case a sideline would have been a great chance to drop one in for a goal chance.

It's daft but I suspect with the 45 they reckon there's a chance that a possible score could be deflected wide and feel teams should have the chance at it.

I felt for the Louth lad on Sunday. If Kildare had pulled that back he'd never have lived it down.

That's the bigger wtf to be honest. Thankfully Pat doesn't head up the CPS in England.
